Hogwarts Legacy DLC plans: Rumors & everything we know

Hogwarts Legacy‘s upcoming update announcement flared up the DLC rumors surrounding the game. Here’s everything we know about whether fans should expect to return to Avalanche Software’s wizarding world anytime soon.

Avalanche Software provided Harry Potter fans with what they’d always wanted in a game with Hogwarts Legacy, the chance to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and carve out their own adventure in the beloved wizard world.

Packed full of magical creatures to find, spells to master, and a lot of iconic locations to explore, Hogwarts Legacy has a lot of great content to enjoy but that hasn’t stopped fans wondering about potential DLC for the game.

With that in mind, here’s everything we know so far about potential DLC and if they may be future content for Hogwarts Legacy.

Will Hogwarts Legacy have DLC? 

No, there are currently no plans for any Hogwarts Legacy DLC. This news was announced at IGN Fan Fest, where Hogwarts Legacy game director Alan Tew gave the following statement:

“We’ve been really heads down bringing [Hogwarts Legacy] to life, so at the moment there are no current plans for DLC.”

While this news will likely come as a disappointment to those who have completed the game, that doesn’t mean Hogwarts Legacy won’t feature a DLC in the future.

The future of Hogwarts Legacy

One of the main points of contention among fans is that Hogwarts Legacy doesn’t feature Quidditch. While Witches and Wizards can fly around on a broomstick, they can’t take part in the popular sport. 

Future Hogwarts Legacy DLC or even a sequel could add the fan-favorite sport to the game, which would make for some great side content outside of dungeon crawling and overworld exploration. One leaker even notes how Hogwarts Legacy’s map size was cut by nearly a quarter, with the Highlands and Swamp being removed. 

The leaker revealed that both these locations could be potentially added as part of the game’s expansion or a continuation. Of course, like all leaks and rumors, this information should be taken with a grain of salt. 

Additionally, Avalanche announced recently that new things will be coming to the game in the shape of a free update. However, Hogwarts Legacy’s community manager quickly clarified that it’s just “a small way of us showing appreciation to our players for the amazing reception of the game”, implying that it’s not a full DLC.

On June 6th, 2024, Hogwarts Legacy received an update that included a new photo mode, skins for the game’s mounts, more cosmetics, as well as the Haunted Hogsmeade quest which was only available to PlayStation users.

That’s all there is about the Hogwarts Legacy DLC. Don’t forget to check the list with all the professors & classes, as well as how to pick your wand & house, and all the characters you’ll meet during your adventure.
